WHO WE ARE

David Wallace
Chantel Balla
Our backgrounds are in cooking and working in fine-dining restaurants in Canada and we try to understand what our customers look for in quality food.
Chantel studied fine arts in college. David studied culinary arts and has helped teach short cooking courses in Ottawa, including at the college level. ATB frequently participates in food events here.
We both love cooking and understand the importance of using great ingredients.​ Ideas on food and the food system should be shared to lead to better sustainable choices. We and our staff work hard and enjoy making ATB welcoming, friendly and an integral and valuable part of the community.
ATB supports several Ottawa charities and worthy causes each year.

TRADITION
Around the Block was established in 2013 on Cobden Road in Ottawa.
In January 2024, we moved our small business to a larger space at 117 Centrepointe Drive very close to our original location.

The new location in the Centrepointe RBC mall provides more selection, parking, and the same ATB approach to customer care and service. The original Cobden Road location is now closed.
